To-ailwhmiimayw'- JOHN' B;- HOLLINGS- Be' it. known that` VWORTH, a citizen ofthe UnitedStates, residing fit-Waters, in the-county'LoffMontgomery and Statel offArkansas;` .'have invented new 'and f useful f Improvements in' Churns', 'of

which vthefjfollowing isf-aA specification. Thisinventionrela-testoclii1rns. '-1

An objectl of the invention' is' to provide a churn attachment which lmay' be readily ap-4 lplied toor're'moved from anyv vstandardfoi-m of churn `body or' receptacle and' which will be strong and ,d1irablef n construction andl y inexpensive to manufacture.

AAnother obj ect tl e` invention is to fpro'-A vide a churn attachmentwherein 'the dasher 'shaftI will beadjtablelit accommodate ngen to Churinfjbodes orreepracies of dif-v 'application lalndin which llike let-ters of ref- S erencel lindicate'similari parts in the several views`:.-Fi'guref '-1.'isf laf* vertical' sectionV ferentdepths.l y

In the draw-ingv form-ing vportionv of thie through the; shpWingpa-rts inelei'afl. Figr3. is aperlspective' View of the bearing member. Flgjftxi's a section through a portion of thefd'aishervf'lshaft showing a Slightly modified forni A'ofthe invention.v Fig. 5 is a top planifiewfof. a slightly modi'- ied form' of cover;-

Thechurn comprlses a vertical passage 3 through" which the lower exteriorly threaded end-11 of'y a' `bearing bracket 5 extends. vThisbracket is disposed 1 vertically upon the closure 2 and immediately` aboife its threaded port-ion 4 it is pro- Avided with a relativelyv broad downwardly and outwardly extendedrshoulder which bears against the top of the .clo'sureas clearly shown in Fig. 2. A clamping nut 7 Vis adf .justably mounted up0nthe threaded'depending portion 4 of the bearing .bracket and it is adapted to engage against the under side of the closure so'as to'hold thev 'latter and the bracket securelyco'nnected together. A dasher shaft extends through the bearing bracket and secured to the upper end of jar or like recep.- tacle 1 which is provided with `a removable -lid or closure 2 which hasormed therein a -dasher Shaft.y A. l i A. Aftvth'e upper endfthe bearing bracket 5- Vsupports a laterally extending fixed handle v'13 whichrnay be engaged by one hand ot theoperator while the other hand is used to rotate the driving 'gear wheel, the'handle' the latter is being operated..

A 'dasher V14 is ladjustably mounted upon the shaft 8v and at. 15 the :flasher is provided with a relatively sharpl bearing portion 'which rests againstthe bottom of the receptacle 1. At 16 the, dasher is provided with a setscrew or` like equivalentretaining de- -yiee which isvadaptjedto vengage lthe shaft S vwith a View.A tof-holding the dasher' supported thereon at any' vrequired height,"- acco'rding to the depth of the .receptacle 1.-.-

Inorder that the Idasher vshaft may have 'a ivider range ofadjustmentthe saine may beconstructed of telesc'opicsections l'and 17 as shown in Fig.4. A dev icejlS is em- 'ployed for holding the sectionsjfin'theiradf y .'"saetnica'non "of Letters Pattf l Patented 'June 24, 1913,

V13 thu'svserving to steadyivthe churn while y justed positions. The dasherjl'is 'telescopically -'m'ounted upon th'efsectionfl? of-'the' shaft and itmay be secured'n thereon by the adjusting Screw 20. Theclosure shown m 'the-"preferred ein bodiment otheinvention-is maryjconstruction., It haszbeefndesirabl tofprovide a cover which may lie-permanently eldclosed against the receptacle'-duringfth3fchurningfY operation, hence the modification 'shown .1n Fig. '5. y

Thisfcover is -proyiide'dwitha centrai' opening 21 to receive the dashe'r 4Shaft and an4 annular serles offv clamps` 22, vthe lat- .ter being designed' tofengage over the upper vedge of the receptacle.' .This closure ispro- .videdwithA an opening 23'Which is closed by a hinged cap 2st. the said opening being desirable with a View to'facilitating the. mixing of hot water with the milk vduring the churning operation.
